How You Can Help Your Animal

TTEAM and TTouch offer real value for money. You can learn how you can help your animal by attending a workshop or by working with a local Practitioner on a one to one basis.

One to One Sessions

You can call your local Practitioner and ask them to visit your home or take your animal to the Practitioner. All qualified Practitioners work on a one to one basis. Costs vary depending on area and skill level and there may be some travel costs as well. Most Practitioners only charge between £25.00 - £35.00 per session. You will be shown TTouches and leading exercises if appropriate that you can do to help your companion animal overcome a variety of problems. Many clients see a change in their pet within the first session although this obviously depends on the longevity of the problem and possible contributory factors.

Costs for a one to one session at Tilley Farm and in the Bath/Bristol area, for companion animals and horses, by arrangement. Travelling costs may be added if the animal is unable to come to Tilley Farm and lives outside a 10 mile radius from the farm.

Workshops

You could also attend a workshop. Practitioners qualified to Level 1 and above teach one day workshops and those qualified to Practitioner Level 2 teach two day workshops. Costs vary depending on the skill level of the Practitioner and the area. Many people who attend our workshops go on to train as Practitioners.

What is The Tellington TTouch?

The Tellington TTouch is a teaching method for dogs and other animals that incorporates body work, and ground exercises where appropriate to improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening further communication and understanding between the animal and its owner/carer

TTouch helps increase levels of self confidence and self-control.

TTouch is widely used around the world by animal lovers and people who work with animals. It is not necessary to learn the whole TTouch approach to help the animals in your care. Learning just a few of the body TTouches by working with a trained Practitioner or attending a workshop can make a difference to an animal's life.

Observations and Assessments

Visual observations and flat hand explorations finds areas in the animal's body that indicate tension, fear of contact, memory of pain or discomfort.

Body Work

Specific movements and TTouches are used to improve circulation, release tension and promote a greater sense of well being.

Ground Exercises for Dogs

Leading exercises enable the dog to override old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force. The ground work improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation.

TTouch in Rescue and Rehabilitation

Many of our Practitioners work closely with local animal shelters. Staff workshops are taught in several national re-homing shelters. If you would like to arrange for a Tellington TTouch talk/workshop at your animal home please contact the U.K. office.

The Tellington TTouch is a valuable tool that can help animals overcome a variety of problems including:
